When Black Comes to Play

Coronation week, day 2 Family reunion

ISA POV
Today, everyone's friends and family, from different parts of the world, are coming to Arendelle for the grand event that is my coronation. I haven't seen them all in a while, so I'm exited. Merida, Rapunzel, Hiccup and Toothless, the Guardians, Gerda, Kai, their baby Walt, Tiffany and her family, and everyone else. They're all staying in the south wing of the castle, if they don't already have homes close to here. There's definitely enough space for everyone, this place is huge!
And I heard that later, we're going to visit the ice palace with everyone.
How exiting!
But since Sam and Teresa have started with their pranks again, I'll have to pick a team of relatives before they do. Then again, they might just attack everyone without teaming up, but that's not likely. I would have expected that if we were all still children, but we aren't. We're experts. They've gotten good at this kind of thing...
But so have I.
I brush my hair, and stare out the window at all of the ships docking. I hear the birds, they're everywhere. I look down and see the kingdom bustling, buying new clothes for my coronation. If I really listen, I can hear the buzz of conversations being held below me. Far, far below me...
I feel sort of selfish, in a way. Making all of these people spend money on what I think of them and how they look. But then again, everyone does that with everyone else in the world, every day.
I pick out a dress, a light pink sundress, that goes down to my ankles, and put it on. I do my hair up in a little bun, put on some shoes, and head downstairs.
On the way, maids bow their heads and say hello, but I tell them not to, because I don't really think it's necessary, and I don't like the extra attention. Most of them said okay and carried on, but one of the last ones looked confused and said someone had told her to because it would make me happy.
"Who was that?" I asked.
"Princess Anna and Prince Kristoff's kids, Sam and Teresa." She replied. I stormed away immediately, changing course from the main hall to their secret hideout.
One more maid bowed to me on the way.
"Hello, Isa," she started.
"Ya whatever," I flicked my hand in anger, and I continued walking, fast-paced.
When I got to the little white door under the stairs, I froze it shut. Then, I coated everything inside with ice through the little crack in the bottom that doesn't quite reach the floor.
"Point Isa," I say, wiping my hands in the air, like there's dirt on them, as I walk away smiling.

A few hours later, everyone is here, and were having supper in the main hall. It's soup and salad, and it's quite delicious. It's a shame Olaf can't have any, though. He tried once, and it didn't really end very well. So, he's eating a snow cone.
I've picked out Merida, Rapunzel, Emily, Bunny, Sandy and Tiffany. I think I've chosen my recruits well, but we'll see...
After supper, my team and I planned out what pranks we'd do during the week.
"We are so doing that one with whipped cream and water," says Punzie.
Sandy made a little crescent moon out of sand above his head, smiling and pointing at it with joy.
"What about replacing their toothpaste with shaving cream?" Says Bunny.
"That's pretty good, but they're all classics," I say. "Let's try to be a little bit more original." And at that moment, as if on cue, many screams of surprise rung out through the castle.
Everyone jumped a bit, but I just laughed.
"What was that?" Exclaimed Tiffany.
"An original idea," I replied slyly, smirking.
Suddenly, my eyes darted to the window, where the sun was getting dangerously close to the horizon. I looked back at them. "Alright, I think that's enough brainstorming for today, team." I rush them all out of the little room. "Good job," I exit as well, and walk faster than normal, away from them.
"Why are you kicking us out so early?" Asked Merida.
"I, just..." I try to think of a reasonable excuse. "Think it's a little late. We'd work better in the light of day, don't you think?" I try.
"I guess you're right," says Emily. I sigh with relief as they all walk away, too slowly, back to their rooms.
Once everyone is out of sight, I think I literally sprint to my room. The sun has almost set, I need to get back.
Now.
Everything seems to be happening too slow. My feet won't work with my legs fast enough, my bedroom door is being slowed down by the air around it. Only when the door is closed, and the darkness has flooded my room, does time start moving normally again.
"So," says Frost. I can almost hear his smirk. I'm not even looking at him yet, and I'm terrified. "How was the family reunion?"
------------------
Yep, just a casual conversation with the most feared being of all time. That's how this chapter ends :).
Thanks for reading! :)
